They will be the only team from the South Island playing in the Six -a-side mixed competition. For a list of the 56 teams entered, please click here: Hockey-6-Aside-Registrations-Anchor-AIMS-Games

Our training today was led by Callum McGregor, the Southern United Year 7/8 Div. 1 Coach and assistant Hatch Cup Coach and Premier Grade Hockey player. Mr Norton, Mrs Phanpho and Mr Fairhall also had input.

We finished up with a game where the Year 7/8 team snatched a last second goal victory to beat the Aims Allstars Supporters Team 3-2 – we will have revenge next Wednesday 2.00-3.30pm!

Max Blockley and Noah Davis were running, mountain biking and kayaking at Corsair Bay yesterday (and then went for a swim!) in preparation for the Aims Game Multi Sport event in two months time at McLaren Falls in Tauranga.
